IO

I didn’t have high hopes for this, but it spectacularly failed to live up to them anyway. The story is dull: there’s no tension, no drive, just nothing. The character interactions are awkward in the extreme. I think you’d probably get a better film if you just stuck Qualley and Mackie in front of a camera with absolutely zero script or prep.
